Non-opioid anesthesia for weight-loss surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight-loss surgery) and have been working with a team of obesity specialists.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher.
- Your health is classified as ASA 2 (mild disease) or ASA 3 (severe but not life-threatening).
- You do not have allergies to the study medications, and you are willing to participate.
- You do not have uncontrolled psychiatric disorders, brain injury, stroke, or communication problems.
- If you get the nerve block (paravertebral block), you must not have an infection where the needle goes in. If you get the non-opioid anesthesia, you must not have certain heart conditions.
